Forget about it. This is impossible, unless you literally have nothing else to do. And that's really unlikely, or they wouldn't talk about prioritization in the first place.
If you really want to know if someone understood what you asked of them, ask them questions about it. If they can't answer correctly, you didn't explain enough yet.
Impossible because for most people something that literally takes "2 weeks" cannot be done without deprioritization of something else, or because any additional work cannot be done without deprioritization of something else?
